Which fruit of the Spirit should you practise this week?
Eighteen statements about what you actually did in the last two weeks. No total, no grade. At the end you'll see the one or two fruit that came out lowest, a passage to read, and one small thing to try.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control.”Galatians 5:22-23, World English Bible
For each one: in the last two weeks, how often was this true of you?
A card on the fridge is a start. Ninefruit is the daily part.
We make Ninefruit, an iPhone app that turns Galatians 5:22-23 into about two minutes a day: one realistic situation, the verse behind it in plain words, and one thing to try.
- A five-stage practice plan for each fruit, with its own small tool, such as The Pause for patience.
- Help for 18 everyday struggles, from an argument to a stressful decision.
- No score, and missing a day costs you nothing.
- No account, no ads, no tracking. Works offline. Premium is optional.
The nine, in plain words
The plain-word lines and practice ideas are ours, not Scripture. The verse is quoted from the World English Bible (public domain). Many translations say “faithfulness” where the WEB says “faith”.
How to use the result
Once you’ve picked a fruit, the weekly check-in is a quick way to look back at the end of the week.
- Pick one, not two. If two came out level, choose the one that would matter most to the people you live with.
- Tell someone. A spouse, a friend, a small group. Practice kept secret is easy to drop.
- Come back in two weeks. The statements ask about the last fortnight, so the answers can change.
- Don't read it as a verdict. Paul calls these fruit of the Spirit, not a performance review. A low line shows where to pay attention, nothing more.
Questions people ask
Is this a test of my faith?
No. It's a reflection on what you did in the last two weeks. It has no pass mark and can't tell you anything about your standing with God. It only points to a fruit worth practising next.
Why “fruit” and not “fruits”?
Paul uses a singular word in Galatians 5:22. Many readers take that to mean the nine belong together as one harvest, which is why growing in one tends to help the others.
Can I use this with a small group or youth group?
Yes. Have each person answer privately on their own phone, then share only the fruit they chose and what they'll try. Print the week cards if you want something to take home.
Are my answers saved?
No. Nothing is stored or sent. Reload the page and it's blank.
